This addon lets you enter description, biography, and various roleplaying-related flags to your characters; other people running this addon (or a compatible addon, if anyone writes one) can then see these values. (WoW players: Think flagRSP or ImmersionRP or whatever.)

Right now, the prefix/override/suffix/title things, the "currently" field, and the description show up in tooltips, and there are tags in the tooltip for whether you have bio and meta tags defined, as well as a list of flags you've suggested. Basically, if you edit your data, and then click "save", your character will show that data to other players who run the addon. If you target someone, and they have data, there will be an "RP" button near their frame. You can move this with the slash command, if you don't like the default placement.

The new -c/-s options allow you to change flags using a slash command, so you can create a macro that could, for instance, toggle your in-character state.

Changing target with the window open will show the new target's data if the new target has data and you do not have unsaved data.

NEW: LFRP feature. To enable:
1. Use /meri -r. Set the flags you want people to have for you to RP with them, or that you want to exclude. Click "ENABLE" if it's not already clicked. You can also click the LFRP button on the main window.
2. Add at least one channel to broadcast queries on: /meri -R [channel name]
3. Hit the ping button, get a list of people on that channel with the LFRP feature enabled who match your flags. Names will bring up their bios.

LICENSING NOTE: I am too lazy to maintain listings for this addon on multiple sites, but do note that the license terms are intended to permit copying and derived works. In particular, I explicitly permit people to upload copies of this to other addon sites if they wish to.

In the game I was editting, I saved it. Went to view a target's merisioux and it didnt work. So i tried /meri -e, again and it didnt work? All commands work except for /meri and /meri -e. Ive deleted the addon and reinstalled it. Ive disabled the addon, hit apply, then re-enabled the addon, hit apply, and it still doesnt work.

Please help, I love the add-on. Nobody else i've asked has had this issue.

Edit: I have also tried clicking the UI "RP" button, which also brings no results.

Big RP fan and enjoy your work so far. I just wanted to bring to your attention a AddOn that I used back in my WoW days. It was called TotalRP. Its now on it's 2nd version and chock full of little RP goodies. Since you kinda have a monopoly on RP UIs at the moment, you should definitely take a look and see if you cant get some inspiration! I know the RP of Rift can be amazing and with your mod, it will make it even better! I look forward to following your work and seeing how you progress! Cheers!

I've installed the addon, it shows up in my list, and the edit window opens with the proper command, but everything in it is grayed out and unclickable, so I can't actually -use- the addon. Any idea what I've done wrong?

Edit:
So, frustrated, I decided to poke around a bit more, and it seems that /meri e only shows my RP info, but doesn't allow me to edit. However, targetting myself and clicking on the RP button by my portrait opens a window with fields I can actually change and type in. Just thought I'd post this for anyone having the same issue.

That could be a bug introduced by my attempts to fix the reported edit problems, although I haven't encountered it. I'll try to have a look Real Soon.

Check the addons button on the character select screen and see whether it shows the addon; if it doesn't, it's not loaded for some reason. Assuming you're on Rift 1.8 (I am not sure whether all parts of the world are), it should show up if it's in the right directory.

I followed the instructions to get the addon and what not, however, when I try to access it in game ti edit my info it says that the command to access it is invalid. Any idea on how to fix the issue so that I can edit info?

The first part (still showing previous character's description) is a known issue that should be fixed in current versions. Basically, it always showed the last information you saved, whether or not it was for this character.

I haven't seen anything where it would override your data, though. In theory, if you have the editor up, and you have made no changes, when you target someone it'll switch to showing their info, but that shouldn't allow you to save; it should disable all the interface parts and just be a read-only display of their info.

Hey! I'm really happy to see this project being worked on, though we need more people using it!

I had a wierd issue with it today, though. One of my friends logged on their alt, and the alt was showing their main's information. So, she changed it and wrote stuff for her alt.

Now, when I targetted her to read what she wrote, it changed MY information to match the information of her alt. My info was completely wiped out and replaced.

I'm not sure why that happened, but thought I'd let you know!

For simplicity's sake:
Character A has description, then logs on Character B.
Character B logs in, but shows Character A's description.
Character B sets information of her own.
Character C (on a different computer and account) somehow inherits Character B's information, losing their own.
Character A logs back on, and has Character B's information now too.
